I stumbled upon I <3 Vampires watching Heather’s Vlog so I thought it would be good to discuss. The characters have a vlog about Confessions of a Teenage Vampire, a fictional Twighlight. The audience sees some vlog entries as well as events that occur “offline.” The audience can comment and rate the video and answer questions posed by the characters in their vlog. The ability to communicate with other viewers, the creators and have a hand in the creation of the next video are important parts of interactive video in my opinion.
I am not sure how popular a show like this would be if the plot line was not so similar to the actual events of the last book in the Twilight series. From reading the comments, it seems like the majority of the viewers are Twilight fans. I would be interested to see if similar style program would be as popular if it had a different plot line.
As I said, I like the level of interaction but I feel the interaction by response to vlog questions may not translate to other audiences.
